The website runs on GitHub Pages via Jekyll to make it as convenient as possible for you to contribute.

Please note if you do not have a gravatar, a twitter account or simply don't want to share a particular field, just leave the field blank or completely remove the particular line.

    name: Jessica Smith
    display_name: Jessica Smith

You can add blog posts by adding a file to the _posts folder. The file must use the following naming convention: yyyy-mm-dd-relevant-title-here.md. In the file itself, you will need to start with the following metadata:

---
title: <your title here>
layout: default
author: <author id, from the example above 'jsmith'>
categories: [blogs]
tags: <your tags here>
---
![podman logo](https://podman.io/images/podman.svg)

{% assign author = site.authors[page.author] %}
# My Blog Title
## By {{ author.display_name }} [GitHub](https://github.com/{{ author.github }}) [Twitter](https://twitter.com/{{ author.twitter }})

<yourtext in markdown format goes here, check out other blog posts if you're unsure how to proceed>

Please pay attention to the categories: [blogs] section. Currently, there are 4 categories available: [blogs], [releases], [talks] and [new].

NOTE: If you want to add a ':' (colon) to your title, you will need to instead use :, otherwise the post will not be displayed on the index page. For example:

Instead of:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

use:

title: My first blog post: Can you believe it?

Finally if your blog is more than a paragraph or two long, please add this tag after the first or second paragraph:

<!--readmore-->

This will provide a preview on the blogs index page and the reader can read that first bit and then decide if they want to go in for a deeper dive.
